Madeleine Imbeck
"Maturarbeit" December 2004 to February 2005
Title of the work: "Pflanzliche Keimhemmungsmittel bei der Kartoffellagerung: Die Wirkung verschiedener Sprossungsinhibitoren auf die Aktivitäten hydrolytischer Enzyme in Kartoffelaugen".
This "Maturarbeit" about potato tuber sprouting was submitted to the "Schweizer Jugend forscht (sjf)" competition 2006. It reached the final round consisting of nine submitted research projects and was evaluated as excellent ("hervorragend"). The sjf competion is a national contest of projects each year that are conducted by young people in Switzerland, mostly highschool pupils.

Barbara Heß
Undergraduate student until August 2005
Email: barbara.hess@biologie.uni-freiburg.de
Scientific interests: I like molecular techniques with DNA or RNA, especially PCR cloning, RT-PCR, and real-time PCR. Getting sequences with the right order of ATGC is great. I enjoyed very much working together with Kerstin. Now I am working in the biochemistry group of the university (AG Schroda).
